De’Vonta “Hershey” Mayberry celebrates birthday

De’Vonta “Hershey” Mayberry, celebrated his 7th birthday last month in style. Hershey was diagnosed with desmoplastic blue round cell tumor (stage 4). All he wanted to do for his birthday was to ride a motorcycle, and with the help of local motorcycle clubs, he did just that. Several motorcycle clubs were in attendance including Naptown, Ride Runner, Dark Side, BBW, Unexplainable, and Johnny Donelson.

The party was sponsored by Ethos Church & Sam and Tina Brown. Dianna, Hershey’s mother, would like to say thank you so much to everyone that made the day and the celebration so special! Also that they have found in recent doctors visits that the tumor is shrinking!!!!! We believe that God is going to heal him fully.
